Another round of important awards for the art studio run at BOK-MCC by the wonderful artist and instructor Stanisława Wojda-Pytlińska. Six-year-old Natalia Mysiak received the main prize in the 14th International Environmental Children's Drawing Contest in Japan (The 14th International Environmental Children's Drawing Contest). This year's edition of the competition, intended for children aged 7 to 15, received a record number of entries: over 21,000 drawings from 81 countries. The competition is organized by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) and the International Certification Network (IQNet).
More than 4,500 works were submitted to the Nationwide Art Biennale “The World of Dinosaurs,” organized by the Centre for Cultural Education of Children and Young People in Wrocław. The qualification of six-year-old Aicha Hanaf and nine-year-old Karolina Guzowska for the exhibition is a significant distinction both for the young artists and for the studio. The theme of the competition was the world of dinosaurs. Participants were tasked with telling the story of these prehistoric creatures and their surroundings. They could use painting, graphic art, collage, drawing or ceramics for this purpose.
In the literary and art competition “Bestiary, or a Representation of All Kinds of Animals,” organized by the Foundation for European Cultural Heritage “Patrimonium Europae,” two third prizes were awarded to Karolina Guzowska and Agata Pasierbiewicz. The competition was one of the activities carried out as part of the “Ars mitologica” project, whose aim is to disseminate and promote knowledge about the mythologies of European countries and their role in creating, shaping and developing culture.
